Somewhere Between Roses & Oranges: Poetry of Place, Space, Life and Love by Laura Ferries
Sit yourself down and unwind with a coffee or a glass of wine and immerse yourself in this floral and fruity spiritual journey. Somewhere Between Roses & Oranges: Poetry of Place, Space, Life and Love. It will take you by the hand, running through the sun, through the rain, through life’s wonderful, magical and messy lessons that we encounter when we are bold enough to strike out of the norm.
Lucid Dreamscapes by Laura Ferries
These poems flow in aqua metaphors: the sea, oceans, rain, rivers, lakes and waves; shipping forecasts, messages in bottles. In writing this Laura allowed her loose-leaf thoughts to brew in a sea where words were woven upon waves, laced into lines and strung together like silk sails into stanzas. Ice, thawing, water, sun and warmth. Our thoughts ebb and flow. Lucid Dreamscapes seem nonsensical but with some conscious control they become resonant and reveal back to us our innermost feelings captured in words and rhythms. This collection celebrates the dream, the conception, the marination, the gestation, the flow and the birth of the thought in words.

HECK NO! TECH NO! A Humorous Glimpse at the Madness of Technology! by Patafea
If you’ve ever made one TECH-SUPPORT call, had to wade through the countless prompts when calling any business, tried to figure out the multitude of ‘error messages’ on your PC or dodged the ‘spinning rainbow pinwheel’ on a Mac, or are fearful of losing all your files……consider yourself to be in TECHNO-STRESS, have TECHNO-DREAD or perhaps see yourself as being a TECHNO-GYPSY or having TECHNO-PERPLEXITY……you will most certainly relate to and be entertained by the humorous Poems, Limericks, Ditties, Haiku and the plethora of HuMoUrOuS ViSuAlS in, “Heck No! Tech No!” (HNTN) that address the ‘Madness of Technology!’
